Fans of Smith's bestselling THE CROSSROADS CAFE can return to the world of the Crossroads Cove in this trilogy of long novellas. Siblings Gus, Gabby and Tal MacBride are natural-born cooks whose instincts for all things culinary borders on the magical. They've all lost their way as adults, but now circumstances are drawing them back to their North Carolina home and the secret behind their legacy there. BISCUIT WITCH features Tal (Tallulah), a 29-year old bakery wiz who is on the run after her baby daddy, powerful New York restauranteur Mark Anthony Mark, begins blackmailing her to gain shared custody of her five year old daughter, Eve -- the child he refused to claim and has never even met. On the run, Tal and Eve head to cousin Delta's home in North Carolina. To Tal's dismay, Delta and her family are in New York for the finals of the "Skillet Stars" competition on the Kitchen TV Network. Delta is in the running to capture the grand prize and become a star with her own show. Tal is cautiosly embraced by the B-team running the cafe' in Delta's absence, with hunky Scottish veterinarian Doug Firth becoming her knight in plaid armor. He introduces her to his home and the nearby ghost town of Free Wheeler, an abandoned factory village where the wonderous Clapper Bicycles were made in the early 1900's. Romance and light mystery ensues. In PICKLE QUEEN, the sequel, sister Gabby arrives from California to take down tycoon developer Jay Wakefield, whose family history has collided with the MacBrides on several unhappy occasions. In KITCHEN CHARMS, brother Gus, a disabled Afghanistan veteran who still hasn't come to terms with his prosthetic leg, joins the fray but finds himself falling for a wounded warrior of a different kind. Rape survivor Lucy Parmenter, a recluse whose artistry with yarn is as mystical as Gus's talent for brewing beer. Originally published as three novellas in ebook, subsequently to be collected in one novel for ebook and print. Biscuit Witch pubbing May 2013.
